The whole squad spent a fascinating morning at the Royal BC Museum in Victoria which has a fascinating Viking exhibit on loan from Sweden as it's centrepiece. The exhibit on Canada's indigenous population was extraordinary and the group left knowing significantly more about the country they were spending two weeks travelling around. Following lunch both squads departed for their matches, the hockey squads were playing a mere 21 minutes away against a composite squad and the Rugby squads were playing in Duncan against Cowichan Rugby club. The Rugby matches were a much more even physical challenge and the 2nd XV demonstrated a real togetherness to defeat their opponents 30-7. Harry Simpson ran the game superbly from fly half and strong performances came from Kamran Afshar, Michael Seydak (who was withdrawn early to allow him to substitute for the 1st XV), Chris Stillie and Angus Hawkins. The 1st XV demonstrated their potential with a 69-0 victory over their hosts. The forwards set the tone with a superb performance, particularly from Tokumbo Lawal and Scott McGinley. Behind Blair Kinghorn produced his best form and Lachlan Stewart showed great courage at the unfamiliar position of centre. Ben Appleson scored 4 tries and the whole team will take huge confidence from the performance. 2nd XV M.O.M. Harry Simpson & Chris Stillie. 1st XV M.O.M. Tokumbo Lawal.
